Air Date 12/26/2025 Authoritarian governments are always very focused on making it look like they have everything on absolute lock down. Everyone in lockstep, everything proceeding according to plan. But they do this for propaganda purposes, not because it has anything to do with reality. In fact, the opposite is always true. All of which is to say that conservatives are not in chaos because Trump is particularly chaotic, though he is. They're in chaos because that is the natural result of attempting to enforce monolithic thinking and ideological conformity. Be part of the show!

The ripple effects? Absolutely incredible.To round things out, the boys brainstorm hot mixed drink ideas, including what truly makes a great Hot Toddy and how to elevate warm cocktails for cold nights.It's an episode full of fantasy talk, questionable travel strategies, warm drinks, and a cold beer, peak Two Beers and a Mic.

Harry McGee and Pat Leahy join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· The inauguration of Ireland's 10th president in in St Patrick's Hall, Dublin Castle, on Tuesday, saw Catherine Connolly deliver a stirring address, amid a real testament to the health of democracy in this country, with all sides coming together after an at times brutal election campaign. Perhaps this is something our immediate neighbours and those across the Atlantic could one day emulate. · The Government's long-awaited housing plan, Delivering Homes, Building Communities, was published this week with the focus firmly on lifting families out of homelessness. A target of 300,000 new homes by 2030, ramping up the role of the Land Development Agency, and greatly reducing red tape when delivering homes, are some aspects of a plan that needs to become a reality if this Government is to be judged a success. · And Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin faces continued pressure over the failed Jim Gavin presidency campaign, but Wednesday's parliamentary party meeting revealed that the review of the campaign will now not be completed until early December. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The BBC makes mistakes but shouldn't bend to Donald Trump's will, Mark Paul on accents and belonging, and how Ireland's forthcoming presidency of the European Council should focus the 'hot mess of uncoordinated gibberish' of some policy positions here.

There's talk of Thanksgiving expectations (spoiler: keep them low), finding joy in tiny moments, and why humor might be the most underrated form of therapy.If you're a parent, in a relationship, or just trying not to lose your mind at a family gathering, this one's basically free group therapy—with better jokes.Keywords: podcasting, relationships, self-care, red light therapy, parenting, personal growth, Thanksgiving, humor, couples, boundaries, wellness

Send us a textWhat if a mop and a kind word could change the way someone sees herself? We sat down with Brittinie Tran, founder of Hot Mess Express, to explore how a single Facebook plea turned into a national, women-led nonprofit that cleans homes, organizes chaos, and restores confidence—without judgment. From the first eight volunteers with dollar-store supplies to 150+ affiliates across all 50 states, this is a story about practical help meeting profound human need.We walk through what a “mission” really looks like: music on, sleeves up, and an atmosphere where conversation matters as much as the scrubbing. Brittinie explains why self-nomination is central to their model, how training teaches volunteers to embody nonjudgment (not just say it), and the surprising ways nominees often return as volunteers and even leaders. Along the way, we dig into the mental health impact of a refreshed space, the hidden epidemic of loneliness, and the power of multi-generational wisdom to turn quick fixes into lasting change.Behind the scenes, Brittinie shares the unglamorous side of scaling a nonprofit—insurance, state-by-state fundraising rules, and the systems that protect both people and purpose. We compare lightweight affiliates with growth-oriented chapters, talk through sustainable volunteer onboarding, and unpack why clarity and community are the real growth engines. Most of all, we reflect on the deeper shift Hot Mess Express sparks: letting go of shame, naming limits, and learning that asking for help is a strength, not a failure.If you're hungry for hope you can touch—stories of neighbors showing up, rooms transformed, and posture-lightening relief—you'll feel at home here. Listen, share with someone who needs a village, and leave a review to help more people find the show. And if this conversation moved you, check the show notes to volunteer, nominate, or start an affiliate in your community. This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network — your go-to hub for podcast creators.

Trying to live the life we were created for, while painful wounds are living in us, doesn't work. That's why God brought Joseph's family back into his life, so he could be fully restored and ready to lead Egypt in strength and wisdom. Joseph is an example for all of us. (HJ#4 & #19)

Shownotes Terry's “grid” that reveals how your trauma shows up in relationships The difference between individual empowerment and relational empowerment Which quadrant of the grid Layla is on and how she got there Why Terry calls our relationships our “biosphere” Terry's best advice for shifting out of anger and into connection A powerful guided boundary practice to follow along with   Bio   Terry Real is an internationally recognized family therapist, speaker and best-selling author committed to helping you build the lasting, loving relationships you deserve.   The author of four books, including the recent New York Times bestseller Us: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship, Terry knows how to lead people on a step-by-step journey to greater intimacy and personal fulfillment.   His revolutionary approach to couples therapy, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), underpins all of his books, courses and teachings. RLT equips people with the powerful relational skills they need to make love work and cultivate authentic connections – to themselves, each other and the planet as a whole.   A former senior faculty member of the Family Institute of Cambridge in Massachusetts and a retired Clinical Fellow of the Meadows Institute in Arizona, Terry has worked with thousands of individuals, couples and fellow therapists. His extraordinary ability to save couples on the brink of divorce garnered Terry the reputation of “the turnaround guy,” and demand from other therapists to learn his RLT method skyrocketed.   To bring the remarkable results of RLT to as many people as possible, Terry established his Relational Life Institute. To date, thousands of mental health practitioners have benefited from a whole new perspective on couples therapy that has transformed their clients, their practice and their own relationships.   Terry is passionately committed to empowering us all with the essential relational skills for meaningful relationships.   Learn more about Terry's work on his website and take his FREE quiz.   Timestamps 00:00:56 - Guest introduction 00:01:12 - What Terry's book Fierce Intimacy taught Layla 00:05:03 - Sign up for Layla's newsletter at LaylaMartin.com 00:05:43 - Terry shares the work that inspired his grid 00:07:00 - Terry's “grid” that reveals how your trauma shows up in relationships 00:09:47 - Why we have a hard time centering our own self-esteem 00:11:21 - Terry gives a real life example of self-esteem 00:15:33 - How to get out of one down or one up on the grid 00:21:10 - Say whatever you have to say, but do it from the heart 00:23:55 - Individual empowerment vs relational empowerment 00:26:10 - Discover the VITA™ Sex, Love and Relationship Coaching Certification  00:28:41 - Why Terry believes that our relationships are our biosphere 00:37:54 - Unlock your deepest pleasure with MOOD SEX MAGIC™ Elixir 00:38:42 - Layla reveals which quadrant she is in on the grid 00:46:36 - What allowed Layla's pain and desperation to finally dissolve 00:48:52 - Terry guides Layla through an inner child exercise 00:57:45 - Discover your sexual potential inside VITA™ Sacred Sexuality 01:01:38 - The mysticism of marriage 01:07:55 - How Layla chose to be happy no matter what her partner is doing 01:10:50 - Guidance on how to shift out of anger 01:15:44 - Terry guides Layla and listeners through a boundary exercise 01:20:53 - Take Terry's quiz to find out where you are on the grid 01:22:08 - Conclusion
